Frankie Muniz Reunites with Estranged Wife for Son's Soccer Game Amid Divorce
The "Malcolm in the Middle" star and Paige Price appeared amicable at their son Mauz's game just a day after Muniz confessed to hitting 'rock bottom.'
Frankie Muniz, known for his role in "Malcolm in the Middle," reunited with his estranged wife, Paige Price, for their son Mauz's soccer game. The couple shared a selfie with their five-year-old son on Instagram on Saturday, marking an apparently amicable interaction amid their ongoing divorce proceedings. This meeting occurred just one day after Muniz publicly stated he had hit "rock bottom" following their split.
Muniz, 40, shared his personal struggles on Friday, describing a period where "everything felt heavy, unclear, and like it was falling apart." He reflected that this difficult time had provided an "unexpected gift" by leaving him with "nowhere to hide" and ample opportunity for self-reflection. The actor expressed his belief that hitting such a low point can be a catalyst for necessary changes, stating, "I read that sometimes hitting rock bottom is the thing that wakes you up." He views this period not as an end but as a foundation for personal growth, anticipating he will eventually be grateful for this low point. Muniz encouraged others in difficult times, assuring them, "You're not broken. You're being rebuilt. Let's keep going!"
Following Muniz's confession, Price shared a cryptic message on her Instagram Story, using a wax seal analogy: "Life is all about perspective. If you ask the grass, the zebra is the monster and the lion is the protector."
The reunion for "soccer shenanigans with the fam," as they captioned their post, took place in Scottsdale, Arizona. The exes were seen posing for selfies in their car after the game, celebrating their son's achievement of receiving a medal for sportsmanship.
Muniz and Price eloped in 2019 and welcomed their son, Mauz Mosley, in 2021. They announced their separation in July, after nearly seven years of marriage and a decade together. Muniz initially described the split in amicable terms, expressing gratitude for Price's support and her decision to put her dreams on hold while he pursued his. He stated that their foundation of respect and friendship would continue and that they intended to "co-parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we've always had."
Previously, Muniz had shared a video of himself dancing with Price and Mauz, captioned, "Who says you can't stay best friends with your baby momma?" This video drew criticism online, which led Muniz to delete it. Price defended him, expressing sorrow that he felt compelled to remove the video due to public cruelty and remarking on the harshness of the world towards divorce.
Muniz, who also fronts Muniz Racing as a race car driver, began pursuing this career shortly after "Malcolm in the Middle" concluded. He and Price had planned to continue building their racing brand together while co-parenting their son.
